AJK election campaign: PML-N knows how to get every stolen seat back: Maryam

CHATTAR KLAS: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Thursday declared that her party has evolved and now knows how to wrench back “every stolen seat” from the government as she began the PML-N’s election campaign in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Maryam addressed a rally in Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s Chattar Klas village to kick off PML-N’s campaign for the July 25 elections to the region’s legislative assembly, Geo News reported.

To those looking to “steal the election”, she said: “Listen up! Muslim League Noon is not the Muslim League Noon of the past. Muslim League Noon now knows how to pry every stolen seat from your grasp.”

Reminding people of the Daska by-election, she said every party worker now knows “how to stop the theft of votes”. “He who stole the election back in 2018, still needs to employ such tactics three years down the line,” Maryam said.

Moving on to speak about the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) election, where seven of the party members emerged as turncoats, she said that “despite being electables and winning horses, they all lost”. “PML-N may not have won, but your turncoats lost too.”

She said in GB one had to fight against a mild-mannered person such as Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman, “but here you have a man such as Raja Farooq Haider”. “If you steal this election, remember this, Raja Farooq Haider and PML-N AJK, along with Maryam Nawaz, will hunt you down to the end of days.”

She said the AJK PM “is not an easy man to defeat”. In the end, she sought a pledge from the gathering to guard their votes and “chase away any vote thieves”.

At the outset, Maryam sought to remind the gathering that she is a Kashmiri with Kashmiri blood coursing through her veins. She said Pakistan stands in solidarity with Kashmiris on both sides of the divide. The PML-N vice president said that the “son of Kashmir”, Nawaz Sharif, will “fight every fight” for Kashmiris.—News Desk
